ConceptSix

What ConceptSix does

ConceptSix Pty Ltd is an Australian, employee-owned management consulting firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Canberra, ACT. The firm specialises in four practice areas: business strategy, technology strategy, transformation leadership, and design. It delivers professional services rather than software products, with engagements spanning business case development, program planning and governance, IT modernisation, procurement support, change management, and service design. Its leadership cohort includes former senior practitioners from McKinsey and Australian government agencies, with named partners and principals across consulting, enterprise architecture, and program delivery.

ConceptSix generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements billed on a professional services basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct executive relationships, response to government procurement processes, and content marketing via case studies and thought-leadership articles. The firm holds pre-qualified listings on six Australian federal and state panels, including the Digital Marketplace Panel 2, Defence ICT Provider Arrangement, Whole-of-Government Management Advisory Services Panel, People Panel, Victorian ICT eServices Register, and Tasmanian Technology Services List. These panels give it standing access to public-sector work in the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, and federal agencies.

The customer base is concentrated in Australian federal and state government, with additional engagements in higher education, not-for-profit, and PE-owned private businesses. Notable disclosed work includes a Second Pass Business Case for a $200m+ enhanced myGov platform program, a Defence ways-of-working review, a joint ERP procurement for two government departments, pricing reviews for a top-10 Australian university, and service delivery transformation for a not-for-profit. With 11-50 employees and no external funding or parent company, the firm operates as an independent, partner-led boutique competing in the Australian public-sector advisory market.
